1) Correctly track the change of objects between the office and home office:
Depending on the use case, there are various options available to you:
Option 1: Each employee has their own user access
This means that each team member is responsible for maintaining their own inventory in the software and app.
For example, a 'Home office' location and a 'Home office & employee name' room are stored in the system.
When moving from the office to the home office or back, the team member can easily store the inventory in the new room - simply by preselecting it in the app or in the detailed view of the web app.
If the employees are not to be created as rooms, a location with the name 'Homeoffice' and a room with the name 'Homeoffice' is sufficient. The employees can then be maintained in a text field or a drop-down field in the inventory list.
Option 2: Employees do not have their own user access for the software and app
In this case, the employee must send a message to the team member responsible for inventory (e.g. Office Management) before the inventories are sent home from the office:
A location called "home office" has been created.
Corresponding rooms are created, e.g. a general room with the name 'Homeoffice', then assign the team members in a drop-down menu or individual rooms with the name 'HO+name team member', room number can then be e.g. HO.1.M.name.
The team member who wants to take their inventory home sends an e-mail to the person responsible with the inventory number, who then transfers the inventory in the system.
When the team member returns, the same process is carried out.
If required, a report can also be drawn up and signed by the employee, in effect as a log.

2) How do the labels get onto the objects in the home office?
There are two options available here as well:
Option 1:
The person responsible for the inventory (e.g. the office management) can ask the employees in advance which objects they have in their home office and then send the labels to the colleagues, or:
Option 2:
A fixed day will be designated for everyone to bring their items into the office so they can be labeled.
